The adjacent sea-view dining area has an elegant, six-seater round table and chairs, perfect for some impressive indoor entertaining. Retire to the study/library for a little light holiday reading before joining fellow guests at your own well-stocked bar for an aperitif, and for dinner, choose a bottle or two from the wine vault. A private pantry that gets magically replenished with drinks and snacks completes the ground-floor accommodation. On the first floor are two beautifully-appointed double bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling and glorious sunset-view glass windows.

Spend your days on the inviting tiled and decked terrace, plunge into the step-entry nineteen-metre-long hydrotherapy infinity swimming pool, and swim your cares away. Enjoy a pummelling at one of the six hydro-massage stations before wallowing in the seafront, inset Jacuzzi whilst watching the yachts sail by. Relax on the deep-cushioned wooden steamer-style sun loungers and siesta in the afternoon sun under the shade of the double day bed. Stroll around the scented Mediterranean gardens before meeting at dusk for sundowners on the lawn. Dine alfresco under a sparkling sky, and raise a glass to the most memorable holiday in the most excellent setting.

The stunning sea view Villa Mercia can be found by the sea shore in a luxury resort, overlooking the beautiful Boka Bay on the coast of Montenegro. The villa is twelve kilometres from the nearest international airport at Tivat, and the excellent on-site concierge team can arrange private car transfers. Vacationing at the villa gives you access to four fabulous international restaurants and bars, use of the swimming pool, gym, and spa, with optional personal trainers, yoga and Pilates, and beauty treatments.

In the nearby authentic village of Kostanjica, you will find cafes, bars, and family-friendly seashore restaurants. Take a two-kilometre drive to Morinj, a picturesque seaside town with verdant mountain views, crystal clear springs and creeks, old watermills, and a pebble beach surrounded by shady forests. Keep going down the coast until you reach the enchanting old town of Perast, with the islets of St George and the six hundred-year-old, man-made Our Lady of the Rocks, complete with a church. Perast is noted for its historic Venetian Gothic mansions, a seashore promenade, the façade of a monastery with a bell tower, charming streets lined with churches, a few museums, and a beach with a pier.
The must-see UNESCO-protected town of Kotor is only twenty-five kilometres from the villa. Wander down this fortified medieval old town’s winding streets to discover Venetian influence communal squares, Romanesque churches, Kotor Cathedral, the Maritime Museum, and preserved city walls. Montenegro loves a festival in May to celebrate victory over the Turks at Gadjanje KoKota, with lots of music and dancing. In June, the International Klap Festival showcases traditional folk music, whilst in July, the Fasinada honours the Virgin Mary painting in Perast, with rock throwing at the island of Our Lady of the Rocks.
The Kamenari to Lepetane ferry is three kilometres down the coast and cross the water to get to the Budva Riviera, famous for its soft sandy beaches and lively nightlife. Stroll the narrow streets to the historic old town, a seaside citadel surrounded by stone walls, and home to ninth-century churches. For some culture, take a tour around the historic palaces of Bujovic, Viskovic, Smekja, and Sestokrilovic. Get back to nature with a walk around the Durmitor National Park and Black Lake. And if you fancy going further afield, you can even have a day trip to the famous walled city of Dubrovnik, only thirty kilometres down the coast.
The Region
About the Bay of Kotor
The Bay of Kotor, or Boka, has been a World Heritage Site since 1979, so be assured of its captivating scenery that includes; a Venetian old town, a Fortress, Roman Mosaics, churches and a glistening cove that all culminate to provide guests with an exceptional holiday destination.
Sailing through the fjord you will notice the Orjen Mountains along the west, and the Lovćen Mountain range curling around the east, which outline this spellbinding landscape. As you enter through the bay you are greeted by a man-made islet that is home to Our Lady of the Rocks Church and a museum. This is the first of many reminders that you are about to reach a region of Montenegro that is famed for its natural scenery and poignant architecture.
The Bay of Kotor is made up of four cornerstones - Lastva, Morinj, Stoliv and the most renowned Tivat. Within these villages you are able to find iconic landmarks such as St Petka Church and St Mary’s Church, or for something a little less pious; simply enjoy Tivat Marina and Gornji Stoliv’s Olive grove & Fig orchard.
Travel inland and strap on a pair of hiking boots as you explore Lovcen National Park. Although it is about an hours drive from the Bay, it really is worth the day trip! Whether you’re travelling with a Botanists, Ecologist, Entomologist or Zoologist; they will be pleased to know that there’s an immeasurable number of species that include birds, insects, bears, wolves and some breath-taking flora & fauna.
We urge holidaymakers to make the most of Kodor! This charming town has everything you need to forget the day-to-day tribulations of home life. Not only does this small medieval refuge have a host of cafes & restaurants, but there are some must see attractions like the Maritime Museum, the Cats Museum of Kotor, Cats of Kotor Shop and St. John’s Hill. The perfect retreat for a family in need of sun, sea & sentiment.
